October 2023 Rudolph Day

[AnnieClaus]

Hello! Imagine my horror-pun intended-when I was on my walk this morning and I thought, "I have to go see what was planned for Rudy Day."
And then I gasped when I realized I AM THE HOST! Auuugggghhhhh. Where has this month gone?
Anyways, I hope you enjoy the suggestions and activities that you can enjoy for at least a little while this month. Thankfully, I had come up with all of it long ago.

Movie:: The Nightmare Before Christmas.
Is it a Halloween movie? A Christmas movie? What are your thoughts?
Did you know that Danny Elfman who does the voice for Jack Skellington and wrote all the music for the movie-
He does a concert performing the soundtrack of A Nightmare Before Chirstmas at the Hollywood Bowl every year around Halloween.
This year's concert will be Sunday, October 29th.

Book: A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens
With scary ghosts making visits to Ebenezer Scrooge, this is a good October pick.
Has anyone read the classic tale?

That simmer pot sounds neat! I would have to make sure I don’t forget and simmer it dry lol.

How did it get to be October Rudolph day already. The weeks are flying by.

Happy Rudolph Day to one and all! Two months until the big day!

I'm in the same boat, host for November so I need to go back and make a list of all the movies and books that have been recommended January-October so I don't duplicate anything!

 

[Myron's Mom]

Hope everyone had a great Rudolph day!

Annie I did the simmer pot last year in a mini crockpot, worked super well

 

[Myron's Mom]

I’ll need to try it that way! Of course I took my mini crock pots to the thrift shop because they hadn’t been used in years. May be I can find a thrift shop one when I drop stuff off next week.

I read A Christmas Carol many years ago. I wonder where that book went? I think I loaned it to my aunt & then she died & from there, who knows.
